I purchased this drone when it first came out and keep the batteries charged a bit over 25 to 30% to void deteriation or being full charged as they get ruined stores fully charged because of the materials. I charged both batteries now and took one out and flew it and was amazed after all this time even with some wind it was a nice day to fly so I ran it and used it until return home kicked in and really enjoyed it and then cme back in and watched your old full video. It is an amazing place where you live and I enjoy your video again after several years. I do have many other DJI from mini 1,2, & 3 pro, Mavic series 1 Platinum, the 2 pro with Hasselblad, and the new 3 Classic and I still enjoyed this old bird a lot. I love this old bird and thanks for the video to see again. Ray C in Florida 2023 April
This drone is truly epic 💯😁. A highly recommend and must have drone. Howdy Rc Saylors Nate and Abby, Popeye 🐕👋😁. A Epic video, from a Epic and wonderful,fun loving family. The Rc Saylors. ⚓
WOW! That is really impressive. I was shocked, we have been waiting for something to come along that was less than a Spark but had the features that LeAn could have to learn to really fly with. We just didn't want to spend DJI money and buy the Fly More to risk losing 500 learning to fly. I really think this could be it. Under 200 hits the price point and it has some of the features, GPS, 1080p some ability to control the camera. I can't wait to show this to her. Thank you so much Nate and Abby! 150,000 I remember 30,000 I'm really happy for you guys! Baby's coming RUclips doing great you're hitting on all cyclinders at just the perfect moment. This is your time, Enjoy it. Be Blessed!
Glad I listened to you and abby over the years I have purchased over 25 drones thanks to your great videos luv my drones it all began with the bug's 3 drucon blue one that's how I learned from being flying one with out GPS have the bugs that's got a sensor built on the bottom great drone no GPS but it sets still because it is a small bugs got it for 50 dollars bugs makes some great drone s and I have some GPS drones and are in rc cars and trucks luve them too been collecting for over 5 years and it's all thanks to you getting me in the hobby luv thanks again for posting great products too purchase and have a collection of rc boats luv the hobby Nate and abby have told me what to purchase and what not too purchase thanks again your the great people and very honest I like that you don't sugar coat it just too sell the product you're honest and I like that you don't see that anymore keep the great work up thank you again Mike Holden out of north Carolina said that
Good morning Saylors! Big congratulations, on 150K+ Subscribers, my friends!!! That's some amazing, exponential growth, since we were all celebrating the 100K milestone, only just roughly, one year ago! Great running, jumping & dancing review of this cool drone, by Nate & Popeye! ;-) (Always fun, to see Popeye, in these drone reviews!) Abby, your skills behind the camera are awesome & your fun observations & laughter, are infectious! I hope that you are all, having a great weekend & please take, exceptional care! JP
Morning John! Thank you so much :-) It's hard to believe our channel has grown to such numbers, as we never thought we'd even see the day 100K came, and now it's 150k! We'll be pretty busy this weekend, but we like staying busy :-) Have a great day John!
Excellent review - this looks like a quad that has a small learning curve (compared to the more usual racing type quads) but has a lot of features at a reasonable price point - a good mix. Your reviews do indeed add value - congratulations on the high subscription count - your team (including puppy) deserve it!!
Honestly, if this is where your budget is, it's a really great choice! It flies so well, and all of the FPV and app functions worked much better than I would have expected. Great drone! Happy Flying R!
You guys are costing me money ! Another one I'll be purchasing. You two are getting real good at reviews. Well done. Love your style of reviews too. Bye.
Just got one a while back thanks to you nate and Abby i have one of a collection seace you sent me in the right drones and rc cars and trucks over the years I have a complete room full of rc stuff that you recommend thanks again for all your help iluv the collection i have the room is awesome with all my drones cars trucks and helicopter i have and still adding more thank you nate and Abby your videos are awesome they are the greatest I luv ❤ my collection it has took years
I have to say I’ve watched a lot of video reviews. I wanted some bells and whistles, but didn’t want the price to jump out of sight. I started watching the Saylors vids because the hs120d might of had potential. Also the hs700. These reviews seemed very honest and had a homespun warm appeal. The review for this one did it for me and I pulled the trigger for this, along with 3 batteries for about $165. It will be one I can learn with, without too much worry. Great job!
Hello RC Saylors was fortunate today to see your review of the Crystal Sky DJI monitor. And kudos to pilot skills. When you reviewed the JJPRO on the unboxing part you had the same reaction as myself on the phone holder plastic thing. BUT to be fair to JJPRO upon farther use of the device it's really well made. The Purple duck.
Your rc family is awesome. Good review, I bought one from Gearbest for $140.00 with two batterys. Received it last week, been flying it and having a lot of fun with it. Thank you for this review. You guys are cool...
CONGRATS!!!!! on almost 150K subscribers!!!! This may be the drone I finally put my "hard earned money" in to buying!! This is the 2nd review of this drone that I've watched and the drone in your video has much better color rendition than the other one. Not constantly switching between vivid colored video and washed out one. Thanks!!!
OK you guys! Congrats on the 150#. I've watched so many videos I'm dizzy & confused. Most reviews focus on the cameras & tech talk. So after watching this at least 5+ time's. I ordered this drone through your link, w/3 batteries and they threw in a bag. 160 bucks w/shipping. Probably have many questions. Will ask one, where is the Sim card slot? Sorry one more. what size/type Sim and where do I order or buy. Thanks for the videos you both seem like good folks, also love your dog. I'm just a very old man and proud vietnam vet trying to learn and stay busy in my old age. My wife helped me order/pay for this drone. We just celebrated 32 years of marriage this last Nov. You two stay happy keep doing things together. Family is everything. Thanks guys!
I just orderd this epick. I am DONE with hobby shop drones i bought the Sync from hobby shop and there is very little control Now all i got to do is WAIT.
Congratulations on 150 thousand subscribers!!! Thanks again for great videos. I really like that drone Nate I thought you where great at checking everything. Thanks for your running with the Drone. LOL
Interesting feature of Follow Me following the phone. Some other drones, like Yuneec, follow the transmitter, but really how many videos do you need of you walking with a transmitter in your hand. And it means when you get out of frame the drone has no problem finding you again and continue following you. Unlike DJI drones that use camera object recognition and if you walk out of frame it gets lost and just stops and hovers. Though following an object rather than a device is much nicer for video production, this JJPro isn't a high end video production drone. This seems like a nice little drone for the price. My first two drones were non GPS and very frustrating at first, I crashed a "lot" before I finally got the hang of throttle control. I would have loved to have had GPS and a tilting camera when I started out. This seems like a nice beginner drone.
Just ordered one today after tons of research I chose this. Got it for $185 on Ebay. They are on there for way more, some of these models are going for over $300 now. Mabe I'll be able to find my kids toy drone I lost I a swampy farm field that's all overgrown. I cant walk all through that overgrown grass and bryers, lol. Good video.
It is a great drone. I like the way it records directly to a micro SD card in the camera. I have a backpack style carry case, extra batteries, an extra charger and extra props including some 3 blade props that seem to work well. I use the included phone mount and have never had a phone fall out of it. I have used it to take family photos by letting it hover in GPS mode and press the photo button with the controller behind my back. I do balance my props for silky smooth flight vids. Regards, Jas. vk4fjgs Rockhampton Queensland Australia
Whoohoo you have reached the magic number..A... Big congratulations, on 150K+ Subscribers to you two, a very well deserved mile stone to..It wont be long before you reach that 200k+
I bought this Drone and wanted to share my finding. When recording or taking a picture through my phone, without a mini SD card installed into the drone the video and image is 720p. But if you use a mini SD card the video and images are 1080p. Thank you for the great video.
Hi, I've just bought my partner one of these and I'm sooooo jealous (both enjoy drones ) but I was wondering any ideas on where to get a case & ideas on a compatible type ... Thanks, we've just watched your video... Any chance you could do a video of showing the calibration steps and GPS etc on the radio as there's no videos out there thanks again 🤗
What a great video! First time in you channel. I watched this video because I'm ordering this drone off Amazon. I'm a first time drone user and let me just say... It was fun, it was honest (thank you BTW) And absolutely I'm hitting the like button and if I may I'm definitely going to subscribe! Keep it up guys love seeing people doing positive thing's! Sincerely, Eric from Denver;)
I got my drone in the mail yesterday and took it for a test flight. Loving it so far. Got two batteries with it and charged them over night to fly again today. What charger would y’all recommend using for a faster charge than 5 hours?
Nice little drone seems to be a good budget option. Thanks for sharing. We do love our DJI Mavic Air but sometimes lower cost drones are a nice option.
A great review of a great looking looking drone at a really great price £143.48GBP (US$185.13) for 2 battery version. I really fancied it ... until I read the specs and found you have to have a 5g wifi smart phone to use the app and camera ... I only have a 2.4g :( I don't know alot about FPV but think it's a pity,... Maybe someday manufacturers of 5g drones like JJRC and MJX will make an optional 5g optional transmitter with built in screen.
I just got a hubsan 501s x4 advanced a couple months ago for about the same price. And really love it. This looks as good. This one could be next on my want list. Really good for the price. And i agree it needs a better phone holder. Thanks for the review. 👍👍
You are absolutely correct, there are more and more badge engineered MJX quads appearing including Eachine branding. It now makes more sense to be canny when buying, for instance the model here you are reviewing is available for $ 126 or £96 from Aliexpressin the for us brits is we do not have 5g phones, I stick to 5.8g , all in all a good value for money though.
Great job. I have been using the Hubsan Pro to learn and after watching your video, I'm going to use the Epik to film more down shots. Thanks for the confidence! I look forward to seeing the difference. Aloha
Actually, it cost me $170 with two batteries. I didn't know about the flash sale until it was far, FAR too late. :-P Anyway, I'm certain to have a blast flying it regardless -- if what I saw in this video was any indication! :-)
I received mine on 12-17-18 and she flies beautifully. :-D The only negative is that for reasons as-of-yet unknown, on 12-30-18 the video (both live feed and saved on the MicroSD chip) became rotated 180° so it is upside-down. :-/ However, I snagged a freeware video rotate program that runs on my Windows XP computer so that the videos of flights I upload to RUclips are in the correct orientation.
Yeah i bought mine on the 1st and they said a couple days to ship, i talked to them today and they told me it wouldn't ship out until like the end of the month. I told them no either get it shipped out in the next couple of days, or i want my money back and now they have changed it to the 16-19.
Those landing gear look more sturdy than the bugs 5w. I just got one and have only flown eachine e11c's before getting the bugs 5w. Because I'm new to it I've made some mistakes and crashed the bugs 5w twice. I used waypoints and underestimated how far it was going so I foolishly tried to land it by just pulling down on the throttle. Unfortunately I caught one of the landing gear and the screw holding it tore out and the landing gear broke. The second time I crashed I was trying headless mode and unintentionally was lowering when it was yawing around. This also ripped out a landing gear leg and stripped the threaded hole it screws into.
@DILLIGAF fpv yeah it looks like you can. I was disappointed with the durability but maybe my expectations were too high from the eachine e011(which is crazy durable). I will probably just replace the legs for now, and use bigger screws to thread into the stripped plastic.
Nice vid. It looks like the better deal is to buy the drone with one batt, then buy a separate spare batt. That's about $16 dollars less than buying the drone with two batts.
I like those quads who can do follow me with help of its yaw. I mena Hubsan does a great job following, but it seldon yaw by it self. So this one you can have kinda close, while Hubsans you have to have a little further away so that it can follow you without yaw. But I noticed that you can yaw on Hubsan manually at the same time. lol. Wish I as a Swede were a little closer to you guys. Seems to be a blast flying with you. :-)
Thank you TheRcSailors!! your review made me buy this drone and I am very happy about its performance! A little issue is that I can not import the videos/pics from the drone SD card, while the Android card works. Hope some one out there would help? Thank you
Wow 5 more min run time and it would be super awesome,cool . Have you seen the new hubsan? I taught myself to hand land all types of drones including the h501s,this is only for experienced pilots only,watch your fingers
What do you think? This one or Hubsan H501s? I can't decide....both seem to be more or less the same...or is the cam better? Thanks a lot and keep going! Great work!
I interested in seeing what the app for these drones looks like. If you could also add footage of a screen capture then that would be nice. I’m interested to see the OSD. Could probably download the app myself anyway....
Just ordered this unfortunately it's on backorder so I won't get it until November. Really looking forward to Flying this. Picked up a Vizuo without altitude hold to practice on. Very happy with that as well actually.
I’m Just getting into RC stuff at the ripe old age of 68. I purchased a 3 channel park flyer and then decided to buy a drone. I saw many reviews, including this one on the JJPro x5, and thought this had some good features to start with. It came with just a basic charger and after doing some homework, I bought the Venom pro duo. Now I find out that the batteries are proprietary and the store guys said the venom would not work with them. Is that true? I bought a tester to tell me the battery state, but how do I balance and storage charge them? I like the drone so far btw and plan to buy a good beginning plane by Spring.
I was thinking that myself, that there must some at least SOME in-camera stabilization, but they don't advertise that feature. There are rubber grommets attached to the camera set up, and we had about 5 mph breezes, I'm sure a bit faster the higher we flew. I'm impressed with the video as well :-)
thanks for the video. The hubsan 216a looks like much better video, almost stabilised, would you pick it instead if footage quality was your key factor (also cheaper)? What do you think the max range would be on this X5? thx
Hi nate n abby its cheaper to buy this with 1 battery and then buy a spare battery on its own as its cheaper than just buying the drone with two batteries
Nice review you have there. what do you think comparing this JJPRO x5 with MJX B5W in terms of the flight control, the controller, software, and video quality?
Also I Just Subscribed .. Man I thought I had done that a few years ago LOL please check my Channel too and sub me . Having Fun Laughing Playing and RCing ✌️😎👍
AWESOME! We just caught this on sale for $140 at the time of pinning this comment :-) Check it out here - goo.gl/ERfG7h
ic 169 with that link does this take pretty good pics?
I like the drone similar to mjx bugs 5w i think
This just went on Sale at Gearbest $129 for the two battery version. follow the two battery link above.
The only thing stopping me from buying it is the WiFi... My phone is WiFi 4...... 😭 😭 😭 😭
@@garagebandbrothers considering the price point it takes really good pics
I purchased this drone when it first came out and keep the batteries charged a bit over 25 to 30% to void deteriation or being full charged as they get ruined stores fully charged because of the materials. I charged both batteries now and took one out and flew it and was amazed after all this time even with some wind it was a nice day to fly so I ran it and used it until return home kicked in and really enjoyed it and then cme back in and watched your old full video. It is an amazing place where you live and I enjoy your video again after several years. I do have many other DJI from mini 1,2, & 3 pro, Mavic series 1 Platinum, the 2 pro with Hasselblad, and the new 3 Classic and I still enjoyed this old bird a lot. I love this old bird and thanks for the video to see again. Ray C in Florida 2023 April
I bought one from Gearbest with the extra battery. It worked just as you described. Having a lot of fun with this drone!!!!! :-)
That is great Herbie!! So glad you are enjoying it :-) It's such an awesome drone!
Congratulations on the 150 thousand milestone, I am sure you never imagined getting this far when you both started out.

Very nice drone and review. The camera quality is good too.
Thanks a lot larry!
300k subs is right around the corner. Seems like you hit 100k a few weeks back.
Hi. in your opinion which is better this drone or SJRC F11? thanks
You guys are awesome. Love you videos. Can’t wait to see your baby. God bless
Congrats on 150k guys...
I wish I could watch you guys for hours, I have so much home work to do in about 30 minutes. I also have a 4 page project due on oct. 30. ;(
Hi, I've just bought my partner one of these and I'm sooooo jealous (both enjoy drones ) but I was wondering any ideas on where to get a case & ideas on a compatible type ... Thanks, we've just watched your video... Any chance you could do a video of showing the calibration steps and GPS etc on the radio as there's no videos out there thanks again 🤗
You can record video and picture to your WiFi connected cell phone without the SDHC chip/card.
Yes
Another super video from the saylors!! You guys rock😎
Can't wait for the Bugs 5W review. I just bought one but haven't had a chance to fly it yet. Keep up the great videos!
What a great video!
First time in you channel.
I watched this video because I'm ordering this drone off Amazon.
I'm a first time drone user and let me just say...
It was fun, it was honest (thank you BTW) And absolutely I'm hitting the like button and if I may I'm definitely going to subscribe!
Keep it up guys love seeing people doing positive thing's!

I got my drone in the mail yesterday and took it for a test flight. Loving it so far. Got two batteries with it and charged them over night to fly again today. What charger would y’all recommend using for a faster charge than 5 hours?

Looks like a giant spider hanging in the sky, nice drone.
Really like this drone! It performs very well, especially for it's price :-)
Thanks for such a comprehensive review and feature view!
I'm liking the looks of the quad 👍 nice review ❗
I just got a hubsan 501s x4 advanced a couple months ago for about the same price. And really love it. This looks as good. This one could be next on my want list. Really good for the price. And i agree it needs a better phone holder. Thanks for the review. 👍👍
Good review. Bought one for a month ago and still waiting until i get this drone in my hands.
Lol, thanks. I've had my Bugs 5W for two weeks and haven't tried Follow Me yet. Maybe this weekend I will.
Awesome Charles! Hope it goes well :-) Happy Flying!
It's good to have in mind that MJX actually sell models to other companies for them to use. JJRC are clearly using their designs.
You are absolutely correct, there are more and more badge engineered MJX quads appearing including Eachine branding. It now makes more sense to be canny when buying, for instance the model here you are reviewing is available for $ 126 or £96 from Aliexpressin the for us brits is we do not have 5g phones, I stick to 5.8g , all in all a good value for money though.

Great job. I have been using the Hubsan Pro to learn and after watching your video, I'm going to use the Epik to film more down shots. Thanks for the confidence! I look forward to seeing the difference. Aloha
Would you recommend this over the Hubsan H501S ? It would be my first GPS drone. I also have the Syma X5HC and Furibee F36. Thanks.
I have one of these bad boys on the way, in great part thanks to you guys!!! :-)
*THANK YOU EVER SO VERY MUCH!!!*
I think you'll REALLY love flying this, especially consider that flash sale I'm sure you took advantage of. Happy Flying!
Actually, it cost me $170 with two batteries. I didn't know about the flash sale until it was far, FAR too late. :-P
Anyway, I'm certain to have a blast flying it regardless -- if what I saw in this video was any indication! :-)
Hopefully you actually got yours, it's been two weeks for me and they still haven't shipped it.
I received mine on 12-17-18 and she flies beautifully. :-D
The only negative is that for reasons as-of-yet unknown, on 12-30-18 the video (both live feed and saved on the MicroSD chip) became rotated 180° so it is upside-down. :-/ However, I snagged a freeware video rotate program that runs on my Windows XP computer so that the videos of flights I upload to RUclips are in the correct orientation.
Yeah i bought mine on the 1st and they said a couple days to ship, i talked to them today and they told me it wouldn't ship out until like the end of the month. I told them no either get it shipped out in the next couple of days, or i want my money back and now they have changed it to the 16-19.
Misleading how they say 20 minute flying time. But looks overall like a nice drone. Might pick one up this spring.
Those landing gear look more sturdy than the bugs 5w. I just got one and have only flown eachine e11c's before getting the bugs 5w. Because I'm new to it I've made some mistakes and crashed the bugs 5w twice. I used waypoints and underestimated how far it was going so I foolishly tried to land it by just pulling down on the throttle. Unfortunately I caught one of the landing gear and the screw holding it tore out and the landing gear broke. The second time I crashed I was trying headless mode and unintentionally was lowering when it was yawing around. This also ripped out a landing gear leg and stripped the threaded hole it screws into.
@DILLIGAF fpv yeah it looks like you can. I was disappointed with the durability but maybe my expectations were too high from the eachine e011(which is crazy durable). I will probably just replace the legs for now, and use bigger screws to thread into the stripped plastic.
Looks like you hit the 150k subscribed. Awesome congrats.
*Almost got in the dog poop!* 😲😂🤣😆🙃
150,140 subs as I type!
Congratulations guys! I 👍🏼👍🏼❤
Nice vid. It looks like the better deal is to buy the drone with one batt, then buy a separate spare batt. That's about $16 dollars less than buying the drone with two batts.
I like those quads who can do follow me with help of its yaw. I mena Hubsan does a great job following, but it seldon yaw by it self. So this one you can have kinda close, while Hubsans you have to have a little further away so that it can follow you without yaw. But I noticed that you can yaw on Hubsan manually at the same time. lol.
Wish I as a Swede were a little closer to you guys. Seems to be a blast flying with you. :-)
Looks pretty good, but waiting for the hubsan zino reviews. Nice review guys.
Wow very smooth.. Nice find.
Thank you TheRcSailors!! your review made me buy this drone and I am very happy about its performance! A little issue is that I can not import the videos/pics from the drone SD card, while the Android card works. Hope some one out there would help? Thank you
What size micro sd card would work best for this drone?
Thanks, love your videos!
Wow 5 more min run time and it would be super awesome,cool . Have you seen the new hubsan? I taught myself to hand land all types of drones including the h501s,this is only for experienced pilots only,watch your fingers
Have you watched ken herons videos there funny, the drone video he did of the abandoned nuclear power station was just a classic.
Thanks for all your information 👍
Thank you for tuning in 😃👍⚓😎
Awesome vid man, TY! Hmmm, maybe, (like me) you have broken a shaft, can I talk you into "how to", replace a shaft and motor? Tanks!
Another great video keep them coming!
Hi Abby, Nate and Popeye , i give this drone a 8.5 out of 10 🖒
What do you think? This one or Hubsan H501s? I can't decide....both seem to be more or less the same...or is the cam better? Thanks a lot and keep going! Great work!
You "made" me buy it. ;) It is a better price drone than the HS 700 Holy Stone, and it has the same GPS features.
I interested in seeing what the app for these drones looks like. If you could also add footage of a screen capture then that would be nice. I’m interested to see the OSD. Could probably download the app myself anyway....
this drone looks awesome
Yeah I really like the way it looks too, and it flies and performs really well :-) Thanks a lot for tuning in!
Just ordered this unfortunately it's on backorder so I won't get it until November. Really looking forward to Flying this. Picked up a Vizuo without altitude hold to practice on. Very happy with that as well actually.
Jjrc rules!!!!! Your the best guys
Thanks a lot for tuning in Robert :-)
I’m Just getting into RC stuff at the ripe old age of 68. I purchased a 3 channel park flyer and then decided to buy a drone. I saw many reviews, including this one on the JJPro x5, and thought this had some good features to start with. It came with just a basic charger and after doing some homework, I bought the Venom pro duo. Now I find out that the batteries are proprietary and the store guys said the venom would not work with them. Is that true? I bought a tester to tell me the battery state, but how do I balance and storage charge them?
I like the drone so far btw and plan to buy a good beginning plane by Spring.
Congrats You guys are an awesome resource THANKS
Thank you Roger :-) Have a great day!
What was the wind like during this review? The on-board video looked really stable for no gimbal ...does it do in-camera stabilization?
I was thinking that myself, that there must some at least SOME in-camera stabilization, but they don't advertise that feature. There are rubber grommets attached to the camera set up, and we had about 5 mph breezes, I'm sure a bit faster the higher we flew. I'm impressed with the video as well :-)
thanks for the video. The hubsan 216a looks like much better video, almost stabilised, would you pick it instead if footage quality was your key factor (also cheaper)? What do you think the max range would be on this X5? thx
Congrats on 150k
Thank you so much mtcookie25 :-)
I really want a good camera drone!!! Hopefully they keep getting cheaper & one day i can buy one!!!!!
GREAT REVIEW
👍😀👍
Awesome! Really nice video. But I want to know that why is so much price difference between Bugs 5w and JJPRO x5?
Hi nate n abby its cheaper to buy this with 1 battery and then buy a spare battery on its own as its cheaper than just buying the drone with two batteries
Nice review you have there. what do you think comparing this JJPRO x5 with MJX B5W in terms of the flight control, the controller, software, and video quality?
If you switch off the GPS off and say there was a loss of signal, would the drones internal computer switch it on again for the auto return to home.
IS that a clay pigeon shooting range where you test your drones looks like one, the grass has been cut so they must still be using it.
Nice! Do you know if you can adjust the low battery warning ⚠️
Awesome review but notice it has to be A 5G WIFI CAPABLE PHONE so I'm asking you if you're using Android or iPhone?
Also I Just Subscribed .. Man I thought I had done that a few years ago LOL please check my Channel too and sub me . Having Fun Laughing Playing and RCing ✌️😎👍
check the specs of your phone only way to know for sure
